Early Wednesday, the Prince, 28, visited the Kananelo Center for the Deaf just outside the capital Maseru, where he was welcomed with a huge “Hi Harry” sign on the chalkboard.

As he attempted to learn some sign language from the children, he quipped to his friend Seeiso, “I’m never going to get this right.”

The two princes, who set up the charity (Sentebale means “Forget Me Not”) in honor of their late mothers, were then taken to the school’s kitchen, where Harry slipped on a purple apron decorated with teddy bears before they tried their hand at making Sotho sweet bread cooked in boiling oil – also known as “fat cakes.”
